Summer reading is almost here! This year’s theme is “Level Up At Your Library”. We have a summer full of play and exploration ahead of us- some of the events we have planned include card games, video games, and storytelling programs. Readers and adults of all ages will also have opportunities to track their reading throughout the summer and earn incentives along the way, as well as enter raffle drawings for larger prizes at the end of summer.
